Kendrick named as Georgia director of Southern Economic Development Council board

Posted August 24, 2023 in Authority News

Local development authority President Missy Kendrick has been chosen as the Georgia state director for the Southern Economic Development Council.

“The Southern Economic Development Council is a very well respected and powerful voice for economic development in our 17 state region of the United States and I am honored to represent Georgia on this board of directors,” Kendrick said.

Kendrick who acts as the president of the Rome Floyd County Development Authority, Development Authority of Floyd County and the Gordon-Floyd Development Authority has been attending a SEDC conference in Williamsburg, Va. earlier this month.

The SEDC is a 900+ member nonprofit representing southern states and is composed of a cross section of industrial and economic developers from business and industry, utilities, transportation and financial institutions.

Brian Gwin, the senior industrial development manager at Norfolk Southern, was elected chairman of the SEDC Board of Directors.

“SEDC is embarking on an era of growth with almost 1,300 members from 700 economic development organizations in our 17-state region and will launch a major Foreign Direct Investment Initiative in 2024 to continue our leadership in the American South,” Gwin stated. “I also look forward to seeing economic development leaders at our 2024 Annual Conference in the beautiful and historic city of Savannah, Georgia.”

“SEDC members set the global economic development standard as they nurture iconic brands, support emerging technologies that are redefining markets, and develop world-class business environments and opportunities in our communities,” stated Council President Matt Tackett in a press release. “Our Board reflects the sophisticated Council network that has built the world’s 3rd largest and the best-positioned economy. We congratulate incoming Chairman Gwin and Directors and thank our leadership for an impactful commitment to accelerated progress in the American South.”
